The Other Darrin/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Averted at the last minute on ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]''. When ''Futurama'' was set to create new episodes for [[Comedy Central]], FOX scared fans by stating that the original voice actors ([[Billy West]], [[Married With Children|Katey Sagal]], John DiMaggio, [[Lauren Tom]], et al.) would be replaced due to a pay dispute. The pay dispute was settled and the original voice actors continued to do the show.

** Also played straight and mixed in with [[What Could Have Been]] with Zapp Brannigan. Originally, Phil Hartman was supposed to voice Zapp Brannigan when ''Futurama'' was in its pre-production phase. When Hartman was murdered by his wife, Billy West was cast instead.

* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'':

* In ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'', the characters of Janine, Peter and Winston all switched to new voice-actors at some point in the show. Janine's was the most interesting case, in that her original rather abrasive look/voice were drastically toned down when the switch happened, and this fact was then belatedly used as the plot in an episode, "Janine, You've Changed." It was [[Retcon|retconned]] that Janine had made a [[Deal With the Devil|deal with an evil spirit]] to cause the change, only nobody noticed until a character accidentally came across "before and after" photographs.

** Funnily enough, by the time of the ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters (Animation)|Extreme Ghostbusters]]'', she had reverted back to her old abrasive style, though it was yet ''another'' actress in the role (Pat Musick).

** In addition, Dee Dee's voice switched from Allison Moore to Kat Cressida after the first 13 episodes when Allison wanted to focus on her live-action/stage work. When the show returned from the hiatus, Allison returned to play Dee Dee for another season since Genndy Tartokovsky wanted to focus on changing a few voices around. Kat Cressida returned to the role again after a season at the request of Cartoon Network who felt viewers were most used to her.

* The same thing happened with the ''[[Rugrats]]'' after Christine Cavanaugh left Chuckie's voice and was replaced by [[Nancy Cartwright]].

** [[Fan Nickname|Bonbon]] is probably better known for this than any other pony. Out of the few speaking lines she has, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhp4JoEVhuc compare how different they are.]

* [[Secret Squirrel]] and Morocco Mole: [[Mel Blanc]] and Paul Frees in the original, Jess Harnell and Jim Cummings in the 1993 retool.

* In ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures (Animation)|Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', the thug Hak Foo was voiced by [[Jim Cummings]] in his season 1 appearance, and by [[John Dimaggio]] for the rest of the series. Valmont actually had ''three'' different actors: Julian Sands during the first two seasons when he was a recurring villain, and in the later seasons both Andrew Abelson and Greg Ellis when his [[Demoted to Extra|appearances became more infrequent]].

* "[[Team Umizoomi (Animation)|Team Umizoomi]]" has Milli and Door Mouse. Milli's current voice actor is Madeline Rose Yen (previously voiced by Sophia Fox). Door Mouse was voice by Joe Narcisco before Chris Phillips took the role. The Voice change was obvious in Door Mouse, but very seldom in Milli.
